The Choking Game

This was one of the most difficult stories I've ever had to report. With a teenage son, this hit very close to home. Dylan Piefer was fourteen years-old when he died this past Saturday. Watch the story here. The San Mateo County Coroner told the mother, it appeared he's the latest victim of the Choking Game. Kids are using several different methods to restrict their airways and cutoff oxygen to the brain. As they pass out and revive, they get a rush, similar to what a person experiences using inhalants. But, the experts say the Choking Game is not easily controlled and can be very dangerous.

I wanted to pass on the warning signs for parents, from the CDC website:

Discussion of the game or its aliases

Bloodshot eyes

Marks on the neck

Wearing high-necked shirts, even in warm weather

Frequent, severe headaches

Disorientation after spending time alone

Increased and uncharacteristic irritability or hostility

Ropes, scarves, and belts tied to bedroom furniture or doorknobs or found knotted on the floor

Petechiae (pinpoint bleeding spots) under the skin of the face, especially the eyelids, or the conjunctiva (the lining of the eyelids and eyes)

And here are some of the aliases:

Pass-out game

Space monkey

Suffocation roulette

Scarf game

The American dream

Fainting game

Something dreaming game

Purple hazing

Blacking out/blackout

Dream game

Flat liner

California choke

Space cowboy

Airplaning

Purple dragon

Cloud nine

We found those videos all over the internet, on YouTube and parents' group, the Dangerous Behavior Foundation. Click here for more information.

I spoke with Dylan's father, Phillip. He's devastated by his son's death; they were very close. He says he knows that Dylan did not commit suicide. Phillip has been out of work, and he's asking if anyone would like to help pay the funeral expenses, please donate to the "Dylan Piefer Memorial Fund" at any Bank of America Branch.
